Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behavior. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem? Can we avoid them even if we try? In Mirror, Mirror, Simon Blackburn, the author of such best-selling philosophy books as Think, Being Good, and Lust, says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, literature, history, and popular culture, Blackburn offers an enlightening and entertaining exploration of self-love, from the myth of Narcissus and the Christian story of the Fall to today's self-esteem industry.
A sparkling mixture of learning, humor, and style, Mirror, Mirror examines what great thinkers have said about self-love--from Aristotle, Cicero, and Erasmus to Rousseau, Adam Smith, Kant, and Iris Murdoch. It considers today's "me"-related obsessions, such as the "selfie," plastic surgery, and cosmetic enhancements, and reflects on connected phenomena such as the fatal commodification of social life and the tragic overconfidence of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Ultimately, Mirror, Mirror shows why self-regard is a necessary and healthy part of life. But it also suggests that we have lost the ability to distinguish--let alone strike a balance--between good and bad forms of self-concern.
Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He was Edna J. Doury Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, and from 1969 to 1990 was a Fellow and Tutor at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is the author of The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy and the best-selling Think and Being Good, among other books.
忙于都市,纷纷扰扰,有多久没有与自己对话了? 聆听自己,了解自己,认识自己,是每一个迷茫或者精神凌乱之人迫切需要解决的问题。 《你就要很独特》正是这样一副醒世良药。 如果说这一书名翻译得比较意义,那么其英文原著的书名《Mirror,Mirror:The Uses And abuses of sel...
評分1. 这本书的名字虽然起的很像畅销小说,但读完之后发现它其实挺正经的,甚至有点读教科书的感觉。前半本书的内容可以读一下,到后半部分有太多关于宗教的东西,读不太出所以然来。 我以为这本书会教人要保持自我,但它是在教人警惕对他人他事漠不关心的自我,作者称其为自大。...
評分“我”无论在哪个领域,都是一个难题。虽然每个人生而不同,但是却不断趋于相同,就像网上曾一度红火的小段子所说的“从众可能不酷,但是很舒服”。不从众是难的,因为可能把自己暴露与危险之中,从众是一种丛林法则,如同天然的保护色一般。假如我们能活到80岁,那么我们的一...

評分这个世界是如此复杂,以至于你无论如何都找不到方向;这个世界遍布虚荣与贪婪,以至于我们不一会儿就成为甜言蜜语的俘虏。以至于,这似乎已经是社会普遍价值的全部内容,似乎这决定着我们喜怒哀乐的所有情绪。可是,事实真的如此吗? 《你就要很独特》,这本书貌似名不见经传,...
